Bounded Real Properties for a Class of Annihilation-Operator Linear Quantum Systems

Abstract

This paper considers the bounded real properties for a class of linear quantum systems which can be defined by complex quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only. The paper considers complex quantum versions of the Bounded Real Lemma, the Strict Bounded Real Lemma and the Lossless Bounded Real Lemma. For the class of quantum systems under consideration, it is shown that the question of physical realizability is related to the Bounded Real and Lossless Bounded Real properties.

Coherent H∞ control for a class of linear complex quantum systems

Aline I. Maalouf, Ian R. Petersen

This paper considers a coherent Hinfincontrol problem for a class of linear quantum systems which can be defined by complex quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only. For this class of quantum systems, a solution to the Hinfincontrol problem can be obtained in terms of a pair of complex Riccati equations. The paper also considers complex versions of the bounded real lemma, the strict bounded real lemma and the lossless bounded real lemma. For the class of quantum systems under consideration, the question of physical realizability is related to the bounded real and lossless bounded real properties.

Coherent $H^{\infty }$ Control for a Class of Annihilation Operator Linear Quantum Systems

Aline I. Maalouf, Ian R. Petersen

This paper considers a coherent H∞control problem for a class of linear quantum systems which can be defined by complex quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only. For this class of quantum systems, a solution to the H∞control problem can be obtained in terms of a pair of complex algebraic Riccati equations. In addition, the question of physical realizability of the resulting quantum controllers is related to a bounded real property.

Positive Real Properties and Physical Realizability Conditions For a Class of Linear Quantum Systems

Aline I. Maalouf, Ian R. Petersen

Theoretical developments in the field of quantum optics and quantum superconducting electrical circuits involving continuous measurement based feedback control as well as coherent control are an important prerequisites for advances in the domain of quantum technology. Within these perspectives, this paper considers positive real properties for a class of quantum systems whose quantum stochastic differential equation model involves annihilation operators only and then relates them to corresponding bounded real properties and consequently to physical realizability conditions developed earlier by the authors. Based on the positive real properties of these quantum systems, it is anticipated that it is possible to use the Brune algorithm in order to find an electrical circuit that can physically implement these quantum systems. This theory, in the case of one-port circuits, may be useful for the implementation of microwave circuits related to quantum filters found in the field of quantum computing.

Coherent LQG control for a class of linear complex quantum systems

Aline I. Maalouf, Ian R. Petersen

This paper considers a coherent LQG control problem for a class of linear quantum systems which can be defined by complex quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only. For this class of quantum systems, a method for designing an LQG controller which satisfies a physical realizability condition is developed. This result is related to a recent result on constructing strictly positive real LQG controllers. The main idea of the paper involves constructing a suitable cost function for the LQG problem such that a physically realizable controller is obtained. The resulting controller provides robust stability as well as optimal performance.

On the physical realizability of general linear Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations with complex coefficients

A. J. Shaiju, Ian R. Petersen

This paper is concerned with the physical realizability of linear quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs). In a recent paper, James, Nurdin and Petersen gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the physical realizability of linear QSDEs with real coefficients. These conditions were algebraic conditions on the system state space matrices. In this paper, we first study general linear QSDEs with complex coefficients and explain how to relate them via unitary transformations to the class of linear QSDEs with real coefficients considered by James, Nurdin Petersen. We use this relation between linear QSDEs with real and complex coefficients to derive necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions for the physical realizability of the general complex linear QSDEs being considered. Then we prove the equivalence between these algebraic conditions and a condition that an associated linear system is (J, J')-unitary.

Robust H∞ control for a class of linear quantum systems with annihilation operators

Xiujuan Lu, Sen Kuang

This paper considers the coherent robust H∞control problem for a class of linear quantum stochastic systems, whose models can be described by the quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only, where the unknown disturbances from environment and the model uncertainties in the Hamiltonian and coupling operators exist in the system dynamics. We provide a framework to deal with this class of systems, where the robust H∞control problem of the original system is first transformed into that of a scaled system via the quantum bounded real lemma, and then an H∞controller is designed to attenuate the influence of the disturbances on the performance output. In the design of the H∞controller, a pair of algebra Riccati equations are used to obtain a numerical solution of system matrices in the controller. Finally, the simulation experiments on a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator system coupled to three quantum fields verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
